  • Back to work on Friday.

    I’m back to work on Friday and Saturday (they couldn’t find someone to cover for me on those days) however I’ll have a three day weekend (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday). Tonight I went for a walk because there was a break in the rain so I wanted to take advantage of a dry spell to…

  • Too soon to make a judgement but I’ll give my five cents worth.

    After staying up for the Keynote then heading off to sleep so I could wake up in the afternoon to watch the Platforms State of the Union I am gradually working through the sessions from WWDC 2025. So far I am greatly underwhelmed but I am hoping that as I watch the session videos along…

  • Looking forward to WWDC tomorrow.

    I’m probably going to head off to bed early so that I can get up at around 4:30am for the live streaming at 5:00am – I’ve got some nibbles set aside so I’ll be all refreshed and ready for it and hopefully also watch ‘The Platforms State of the Union’ which is in the afternoon.…

  • Starting a much-needed holiday.

    I finished my work tonight at 8pm and I’ve been enjoying the first couple hours of my much-needed break – looking forward to WWDC but in the meantime I am giving Microsoft Edge a try and I might even give Office 365 Business Standard a try to see how it compares to Apple iCloud and…

  • One more day to go.

    Almost there, Sunday is my last day before I start my holiday off from work for a week – relaxing at home, following WWDC, doing some home cooking, maybe go for some travel such as up to Waikanae, maybe go into Wellington on a fine day for a walk along the waterfront and breath in…

  • Two more days to go then holidays.

    Only two more days to go and then the holidays start. I’m looking forward to the WWDC Keynote and The Platforms State of the Union – the second one I find a little but more investing because although the presentation is still focusing on topics at the macro level they go into more technical details…

  • A productive day off.

    Today was a productive day, I visited my sister to hand back the laptop that I set up for her along with setting up the UniFi Dream Machine and UniFi AP AC HD resulting in a much better internet experience where (I ran a speed test and was able to hit 300mbps download and 100mbps…

  • Happy birthday to me.

    I went out tonight with mum, sister, partner and two nieces for dinner to celebrate reaching the ripe old age of 44 years old. It is amazing how the years go so quickly and yet at the age of 44 I don’t feel old, I don’t feel like I’m slowing down or aging when compared…

  • Busy night at work.

    Had a late start for work but I’m happy that tomorrow things are normal – I didn’t go for my walk tonight because of the late finish but also because I wanted to do a whole lot of organising around the house. In my bedroom in the closest I have a habit of keeping all…

  • Late start tomorrow, great day today.

    I decided I needed to get out of the house after being stuck in day all yesterday – I went down the road and popped into the local bakery in the mall for a cheese and onion toasted sandwich, a piece of carrot cake and a mochachino. I had a look around the mall, checked…
